I like to see that we are getting talented JUCO players. It is nice to have some of these JUCO guys coming in in Dec. so they will get a chance to practice with the team during spring ball. It gives them that extra time to learn the system and gel with the rest of the team. I'm just worried that if we recruit so heavily on the JUCO players we could be alienating some very good prep recruits and discouraging them from signing with us.
That being said, I am glad to see we have gone for depth on the defensive side. If we can get these players to plug in quickly with our 3-4 it could mean the difference in our season. I would love to see our defense tearing it up and creating havoc like the days of old. I'm also excited to see that we have signed some new threats at receiver. I would love to see us stretch the field a little more with Freeman's arm. Now that we no longer have Jordy, we will need to be able to distribute the ball more. Hopefully by stretching the field we can use Patton's speed to kill opponents with the draws and downhill running.
No matter whether it is college recruiting or the NFL draft, it's always fun to see new players being added to the roster. Speculation about their contributions to the upcoming season makes for an interesting off-season. In either case, I think its safe to say that we all can't wait to see what is going to happen on the field this fall.
